OH DEER!

I'm visiting with friends in the wilds of NJ, and they've been claiming there are wild turkeys roaming about for 2 days now. I have camera at the ready for 2 days - no turkeys. I'm beginning to think this is a wild goose chase. So I'm on my way home, camera not turned on and lo and behold - wild turkeys. So of course by the time I get my camera out, turned on, and properly set, I'm looking at wild turkey behinds. Just for that one of them will be Thanksgiving dinner. I'll teach them not to pose for me! Anyway, one minute later, I'm rewarded with a deer that's a ham (pun intended). All is good.

Why I've missed this one before... beautiful shot of a deer. Taken it at low angle and bit tilt create a more interesting outcome to make the viewer look at it for minutes :) Vote.

Hope the turkey was tasty.
